Just idea that they expect growth where there is none is strange. This business are at the limit and have no way to grow faster than economic situation of many people around the world gets better.
Sad part is fir them it is better to destroy service trying to increase growth in meaningless ways, than to just find a way to keep the business that is working.
Idea of infinite growth is ruining us.
I don’t see it as OP equated Ukraine to Palestine, just theoretizes that there is common other side in those conflicts and that reasons for those wars are not what we think they are.
Interesting idea, but I don’t see it.
Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.
People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is… something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.
This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.
We learned to hate “algorithm” but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.
Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.
I have done stuff by myself they in anybtime before yt would need someone to show me.
Whem car mechanic tells me I have problem on my car I can find yt on how to detect it and how to solve it. I don’t get knowledge to do it, but I can definitely appreciate their work more and not think they are just ripping me off.
It is amazing what we have and take for granted.
I see it just as extension to “cancel culture” in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.
It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.
Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don’t know what’s happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.
I don’t see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.
Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.
I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.
I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn’t want me to read their article I will not do it.
But… they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.
Than there is problem with I don’t trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.
Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.
While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.
If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month… or a year).
I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.
I understand she wants freedom in a house she lives in.
But if you go to visit your parents it is not of her concern. She can not get both.
She might be worried about some fantasy she has, but it might not be too bad in the end.
I am in this situation. My parther is close (physically and emotionally) to her family and I wouldn’t want them visiting. But I am happy for her (without me) to go.
Problem arises when she wants me to go too and that’s where fight starts. Either eight away or after visit, wether I go or not.
No advice, just my experience.
First ever, I think was
First on personal computer was probably “Football Manager” on C64: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3zs7PB-QQ
Firts on x86 was “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego” https://youtube.com/watch?v=EGoFwc_EgZM in school.
But first ever was probably some arcade, I would love to know which one was first contact. Never even though of it. Tetris, or Operation wolf, or Donky Kong.
This things are also some of first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PNZ6DUEzzeA and https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0HovHcgM1g
Woow… you time traveled me far in the past. But I don’t know which one was first :(.
Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.
If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.
Sadly, this is expected, the unknown person didn’t break any law. I guess we need to update laws to cover this kind of threats.
Consult a lawyer, document everything.
Everyone involved should try to write down or record everything they can remember about suspected person and contact with them.
My country is similar, but there is a difference if they cross a line at some point if you reported them before or not. Punishment is much harder and faster if there are reports before incident.
But within artificial sweeteners, which might be even worse for our health than sugar.
The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.
It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.
It still costs money for hardware and hosting. Scraping web and training AI ain’t cheap.
Do you have an idea what attracts you to her?
Do you know how humans choose their partners?
\We usually choose ones that wake up our traumas. It is known emotion for us and looks like attraction, especially sexually. Yeah, we are quite perverse. You know that old idiom “similar to your mother”, yeah but not physically or obviously. For me it was that my mother, contrary to what she is saying, hated her father. That also means she hates all man, including her son (me). Keep in mind she is not aware of any of this hate. So until I discovered that, I was attracted to women that hated their father in the same way my mother did. They also hated, and were attracted to, all man. You can imagine how difficult those relationships are.
Go get her, you will have your hearth broken. And it is worth it. But also find some psychotherapist to help you with solving this issue so that next one will be the one that is kind to you.
Sorry for seeing the comments now, but it’s never too late hopefully.
Therapy helped me. Looking back first important step was noticing that I am angry. It is strange how hidden and unrecognizable anger can be.
Second part is discovering why I was angry. As soon as we discover why are we angry, we stop being angry. When ai asked my shrink how does that work, he said “I don’t know, but it works”. And it really does.
Now when someone says “I am angery and I know why I am angre” I am sure they have no idea.
And I haven’t found other way to resolve that, than psychoanalysis as therapy.
While I understand someone not agreeing with the way some instance or community is managed, I see value in different opinions.
Lemmy is great for exactly this purpose, we can have different instances and are able to be exposed to different ideas.
I can not understand the need of some people to limit their exposure to different ideas.
